Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Carole Asselin Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 I have installed the gallery in Sept 2022 and the forum in Jan 2023. I use the SSO plugin to connect the forum/gallery to the rest of my WP site. Everything works fine. However, I notice a little "break" in the flow for members to register or log in when they are on the forum/galley side. So, here is the forum page. https://scrapbookcampus.com/invision/forums/ If someone needs to register and clicks on the Sign up on top, they are directed to this page: https://scrapbookcampus.com/wp-login.php?action=register That is not wrong in itself, but I have a more custom page using my s2Member plugin, which is here: https://scrapbookcampus.com/register-to-the-campus that would also redirect them to the page they registered from. QUESTION 1 - Is there a way to assign this registration page to the Sign up link on top? Also, if an existing user clicks the Sign in link, they are directed to this page: https://scrapbookcampus.com/login/ which is that custom page, and that is correct and they are then redirected to the page where they signed in from. However, if they click the Sign in link at the bottom of a thread (like this one for example), it is not going anywhere and there is no option for the user to actually log in. The only way is to go to the WP side (like go to the Blog) and there, click on the Login link, log in, and go back to the forum/gallery (or use the Sign in link on the top of the page but if they are trying to reply to a thread, they are at the bottom of it). QUESTION 2 - Why would the Sign in link not work at the bottom and how do I fix that? Thank you.
Jim M Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 As you're using a third party WordPress SSO plugin, you would need to contact the author of the plugin with these questions related to it.

Maybe try this... AdminCP > Settings > Login & Registration >Registration > Standard Registration Choose "Redirect to an external site" and enter the URL of the other registration page? 53 minutes ago, Carole Asselin said: QUESTION 2 - Why would the Sign in link not work at the bottom and how do I fix that? I have no idea what's going on here. The pop-up appears for a second and then the page reloads.

stoo2000 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Carole had a support ticket open for this on my site too. The two issues are related to the configuration on the WordPress side. The registration page Carole wanted to use wasn't properly registered as the registration page via `wp_registration_url()`. And unfortunately, the replacement login page isn't acting quite right. It's instantly redirecting requests back to the community instead of asking the end-user to sign in first. @Robert Angle That's a good work around for the registration issue though! Robert Angle 1
Carole Asselin Posted October 4, 2023 Author Posted October 4, 2023 I reached out to my programmer and here is what he found: - if using the "Sign in" link on the top of the page, it redirects the correct login PAGE - if using the "Sign in" link on the bottom of a thread, it tries to open in a different window (like a popup) and that is problematic - if I right-click and open in a new tab, it works fine - if I right-click and copy the link, it works fine So it does not seem to be linked to a "registered page" Here is a demonstration: https://www.loom.com/share/bce87d8ca03846f5bf136b2dde135cfe?sid=c555599d-5d90-47f4-8693-c86e2326a211 Any explanation?
teraßyte Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Based on what you said, the link at the bottom has an ipsDialog attribute on the button, and when you click on it, it loads the login page in a popup (and since it ends up being a redirect it behaves like in the video). You'd need to remove this code (or something similar) from that login button: data-ipsdialog data-ipsdialog-size="medium" data-ipsdialog-title="Sign In Now" Removing data-ipsdialog alone would be enough, too.

DawPi Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Look for guestCommentTeaser template bit in the theme manager in the ACP. Then find and remove: data-ipsDialog data-ipsDialog-size='medium' data-ipsDialog-remoteVerify="false" data-ipsDialog-title="{lang="teaser_signin_button"}"

teraßyte Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Go to ACP > Customization > APPEARANCE > Themes > [Theme row] > Edit HTML and CSS. In the page that loads, enter the template's name guestCommentTeaser in the "Search templates..." input field, then open the template from the sidebar, search for the HTML above, and remove it. There are 2 places with the same code, remove both.

teraßyte Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 That's the correct place, indeed. For the Default theme, it's the first </> icon. For the other theme, you can find the same icon/option in the menu.

For the other theme, you can find the same icon/option in the menu. But where do I find the guestCommentTeaser ? If I click on that </> icon, I get the Header, the Footer and the CSS and assuming I am editing the css, I could not find any data-ipsDialog.
teraßyte Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Oh, sorry. I forgot the ACP now shows the simple theme editing page first. Click on the button Use Advanced Theme Editing top-right, and then the search field I mentioned will appear. 🙂 Carole Asselin 1

If I click on the Sign In at the bottom of a thread, I am redirected to the login page that I have set up (not the WP one).
